C284 Cooperation

Xuan Wuyu invited Lin Yue to the River Gazing Tower to have a chat instead of staying in his mansion. Naturally, he wanted to avoid the attention of others.

Many people in the Imperial Court knew that Lin Yue and Xuan Wuchen had a bad relationship. If others saw him and Lin Yue meet, they would naturally start gossiping.

The River Gazing Tower was the number one building in the outer city of the Capital. It was backed by the Cang Mountains and faced the Profound River. It was the royal family of Daxuan Country and the place where scholars and distinguished guests liked to gather.

Xuan Wuyu was a distinguished guest here. He was currently in a room on the top floor, looking at the surging river below. No one knew what he was thinking.

After the Empress' birthday ceremony, Lin Yue was called over by the Empress. He did not expect it to take so long.

"Mistress, Young Master Lin is here." After a long time, a person came to report.

"Quickly invite him in." Xuan Wuyu's spirit was lifted.

A moment later, Lin Yue appeared in the room and cupped his hands at Xuan Wuyu. "Greetings, Second Prince."

"Don't mention it, Brother Lin." Xuan Wuyu said with a smile, "Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Second Prince." Lin Yue sat across from him.

Xuan Wuyu's men personally placed two cups of tea and snacks on the table, then respectfully went out to close the door.

The reason why he didn't let Wang Jiang Tower's waiter do it was naturally for the sake of confidentiality.

Xuan Wuyu glanced at him, "Brother Lin, please have some tea."

Lin Yue picked up the teacup and used the lid to gently brush against the surface of the water. A faint fragrance of tea flowed out.

"Good tea." Lin Yue took a sip and praised from the bottom of his heart.

"This is the tea that the royal family is offering to Brother Lin. If Brother Lin likes it, I'll ask them to prepare some later." Xuan Wuyu said.

"Thank you, Second Prince. I'm already satisfied to be able to drink such a good tea." Lin Yue said with a smile.

He was not in a hurry to ask why Xuan Wuyu was looking for him, because he had already guessed something.

If Xuan Wuyu wasn't in a hurry, he wouldn't be in a hurry either.

After the two of them chatted for a while, Xuan Wuyu finally started to rush to the main topic.

"Brother Lin, let's not talk about this openly. I'll be frank with you. I heard that you have some grudges with the Crown Prince. It seems like there are some grudges between you and the Crown Prince. Given Brother Lin's current strength, it will be somewhat difficult for him to fight the Crown Prince." Xuan Wuyu said.

Lin Yue glanced at him and said indifferently, "It's alright. I've fought with him several times. At least, I haven't suffered any losses."

Since they wanted to cooperate, they naturally couldn't show that the strength of the Lin City was too low.

"That was before. The Crown Prince was in the Heavenly Tao Sect, so it wasn't very convenient for him to deploy troops and generals. Now that he has returned to the Daxuan Country, it will be very different." Xuan Wuyu said, "Let me tell you something. After the ceremony ended, King Chiang went to General Zheng Jingyuan's house. Zheng Jingyuan is the Crown Prince's man."

Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat. Chiang Yuan had promised that he would never seek revenge. Could it be that he was going back on his word now?

As the second in command of the army, General Bin controlled millions of soldiers. His strength was extremely terrifying.

Although it was impossible to mobilize so many men at the same time, even if there were only one percent of them, it was still enough to flatten the Lin City.

If King Chiang really cooperated with Zheng Jingyuan, the Lin City would be in danger!

The army of the Daxuan Country was not as weak as the army in the fief. They were all very powerful.

However, Lin Yue still looked calm. "What does Second Prince mean?"

"I mean to join forces, of course." Chen Wuyu smiled. "I have eyes everywhere in the capital. As long as there is any news here, I will know most of it. I will inform you in advance when the time comes."

"Thank you very much, Second Prince." Lin Yue cupped his hands and said. If he could find out about the news in advance, it would be much easier for him to deal with it.

"I am helping you, but I am also helping myself." Chen Wuyu said straightforwardly, "That's why I will show my sincerity. I also hope that Brother Lin can cooperate with me sincerely."

He knew that it was because of Lin Yue that Qin Zheng had become the king of Qin.

One. Although the puny Heterosexual King wasn't very eye-catching, Lin Yue was merely a servant of Qin Family. He had no background or power.

It was different now. At least, he had the support of the Heavenly Tao Sect and the Lin City.

Although the Lin City wasn't big, it had two experts that even the Pill Sect feared. Their strength couldn't be underestimated.

Furthermore, it was said that Lin Yue had a pretty good relationship with Young Lord of the Hao Family.

It was said that when Lin Yue received the inheritance of a sword cultivator, if the Dragon Sword Sect wanted to kill Lin Yue, Hao Rann would rather offend this senior brother of his and protect Lin Yue.

It seemed like the relationship between the two was pretty good.

This was good news. As one of the four major families, the Hao Family had a very strong foundation and was now neutral.

If they could win over the Hao Family, then the chances of them competing for the throne would be higher.

Furthermore, the Hao Family had a very good relationship with the Zhao Family. By roping in one family, it was equivalent to pulling in two families.

He had also considered this part in roping Lin Yue over.

The information he obtained from Lin Yue's investigation was even more than that of Xuan Wuchen.

All these years, during the years when Xuan Wuchen went to the Heavenly Tao Sect to cultivate, he had not been idle. He had already nurtured a very powerful intelligence team.

The importance of information was beyond doubt.

"Since Second Prince is so sincere, I naturally won't disappoint the prince." Lin Yue said, "If there is any news, you can send it to Lin City. I will specifically remind them when I return."

Xuan Wuyu nodded his head. This was for the best. It would be inconvenient to find Lin Yue in Heavenly Tao Sect.

"Since Chiang Yuan has gone to Zheng Jingyuan's mansion, I think he must have gotten the Crown Prince's permission. Recently, you have sent someone to keep an eye on the situation in the Royal City of Chiang Family. If there's any news from my side, I will naturally inform you." Xuan Wuyu said.

The two of them discussed for a while. After four hours, Lin Yue finally left the River Gazing Tower.

He didn't return to Lin City. Instead, he found a secluded place along the way. He put on the Invisibility Robe and flew towards the Treasure Pavilion.

In order to avoid Shangguan Qing, he went straight to the secret chamber, and used his divine sense to tell the fatty that he had returned.

"Big brother, why did you come back so late?" The fatty came to his room.

"There are some things that happened in the middle. Is Xiaoxiao back?" Lin Yue asked.

"She is back. Empress sent someone to specially send her back. She said that when the auspicious day is set, she will give a big gift to the adopted daughter." The fatty was still very excited.

He did not expect Su Xiaoxiao to play a song.

This was actually the result.

"En, that's good. Now, focus on your cultivation and strive to break through to the Spiritual Infant Stage." Lin Yue said.

Last time, he had used the Fiendgod Pagoda to raise Fatty's strength to the Ninth Layer of Star-treading Stage, and he was only a step away from the Spiritual Infant Stage.

"I believe it won't take long for me to break through." The fatty said confidently, "Big brother, do you want to see Miss Su once? After all, I don't know when I will come back this time."

Lin Yue nodded and asked Fatty to call her into the room.

With Shangguan Qing around, many things were indeed very inconvenient. He had to think of a way to make her reveal her true colors.

"Young Master Lin." Su Xiaoxiao saw Lin Yue at the Empress' birthday ceremony, but she did not say anything. Now that she saw him, she was naturally very happy.

"Congratulations Miss Su." Lin Yue said.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, "What a pleasant surprise. I agreed to the Empress because I did not dare to disagree. To me, it is not as free and easy as being an ordinary woman."

If it was anyone else, Lin Yue would definitely think that she was pretending.

But Su Xiaoxiao had really experienced too much in her life. She really did not care about her identity as a princess.

It was just that the Empress wanted to acknowledge her as her adopted daughter. If she refused, she would be too ignorant and would end up in a miserable state.

"No matter what, with this identity, there will definitely be a lot less people who want to scheme against you. It seems like this is also a good thing." Lin Yue smiled.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. What she said was right. At least Second Prince, Xuan Wuyu, would not bother her anymore.

She had followed Lin Yue from Soaring Dragon Country to this place and wanted to live a normal life. She did not expect that the Empress would take her in as her adopted daughter today.

She had to sigh with emotion. There were too many surprises in life. It was hard to imagine what the next step would be like.

"Did Fatty tell you about Shangguan Qing?" Lin Yue said.

In any case, Shangguan Qing had a problem now, so it was better to ask Xiaoxiao to be careful.

"En, but I feel that Big Sister Shangguan is not that kind of person. Even if she did something wrong, she must have been forced to do it." Su Xiaoxiao said.

During the time she came to the Treasure Pavilion, the person she had dealt with the most was Shangguan Qing.

Although Shangguan Qing did not speak much, she was a very good person.

"No matter what the reason is, it is always wrong to be wrong." Lin Yue said, "You just have to be careful. But don't be too obvious. Otherwise, it will be bad if she finds out."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. She knew that this matter was not only her own matter, but also the entire Treasure Pavilion, so she naturally did not dare to be careless.

However, she really didn't want Shangguan Qing to be a traitor.

She also knew that Lin Yue might be leaving this place again. She didn't know when they would meet again.

Lin Yue and the others were all cultivators. They had lived for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. She was just an ordinary person. Time flowed like a river and she did not know that her hair would turn white. She must have felt a little sad.

Just like what she had said in her poem back then, "The Lord gave birth to me, but I did not give birth. I, the Old Lord, am not old. If mortals were sentimental, why would immortals bother themselves?

Now, this was her problem.

She hoped that she could stay by Lin Yue's side for a long time, but she had no choice but to cultivate. Perhaps in a flash, she was already an old woman, but Lin Yue was still a young man with a heroic bearing.

She didn't know what kind of mentality she would have to face at that time.

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Yue looked at her, lost in thought.

"Hmm... I was wondering if I really don't have any talent for cultivation." Su Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.

Lin Yue looked at her. Back then, she and Zi Ning were saved by the Sect Master of Exquisite Sect. Zi Ning was left behind, but because of her ordinary talent, she was sent to a big family.

With Lin Yue's current eyesight, he could only roughly see it with his naked eye. It was not accurate.0

"You really want to know?" Lin Yue asked.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. She did not want her life to be so short. Many things had not been completed yet, but her face had aged and her life had disappeared.

"I can take a look, but I might have to offend you." Lin Yue said.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. "It's okay. I really want to know if I really have no talent for cultivation."

If Lin Yue really had any bad thoughts about her, he wouldn't need to wait until now.
